Author: Guns N Roses is a good band.

You hold Manaic firmly in your hands as you stand in an empty training hard alone with Darius. Darius leans his great axe on his shoulder as he waits for you to make the first move.

Y/N: Prepare thyself for battle!

Darius: There really is no need for dramatic battle words... We're just sparring.

You grin not listening to Darius as you love battle speech very much. You charge forwards holding Manaic tightly as not to drop it... Again. Darius brings his axe down into both hands preparing for you. As you get close you quickly stop just as Darius swings his axe. You thrust your sword forward directly into his chestplate.

Darius: You landed a blow... I'm impressed. You have significantly improved since we first met... However try not to hit your enemy's armor as it most likely won't stop them.

Y/N: You forget Darius... Manaic is no ordinary sword...

Your grin widens as your sword absorbs mana from you. Darius raises his eyebrow in confusion.

Y/N: Force strike thrust!

You once again thrust your sword into Darius but this time invisible energy flows pushing against him sending him flying backwards into a training dummy.

Y/N: Yes!

You throw your arms into the air with excitement as Darius shrugs off the blow. You put Manaic up to your lips without cutting yourself of course.

Y/N: You got to do it well... You got to give the other fella hell!

Darius: I have no idea what your singing about but good job... However perhaps try to use the sword without magic for once as you can't always be using magic.

Your brief excitement turns to a pout as you place Manaic into the ground and cross your arms.

Y/N: Just let me have this win...

You clench your fists and raise them high above your head.

Y/N: Live and let die!

Darius:... Where's your girlfriend and that skull of yours?

You stop and look to Darius with a serious expression.

Y/N: Oh Jinx went shopping with Sally... But my skull is in my head. Where else would it be?

Darius: I meant Sally... Obviously not your actual skull.

Y/N: Then why didn't you just say Sally?

Darius: I forgot her name.

Y/N: Rude.

Darius: It's not rude as I don't exactly have conversations with the skull.

Y/N: Sally... Her name is Sally.

Darius: Yes I know that now.

Y/N: Well... Good.

You pick up Manaic and prepare for more sparring with Darius but this time without magic much to your displeasure.

In the streets of the Immortal bastion Jinx with Sally on her shoulder wanders around looking at the different stands.

Jinx: I wonder how Y/N is doing?... Yeah Darius is a lot tougher than him but I bet Y/N has improved a lot.

Jinx notices a little girl run up to her carrying a flower with red petals that look like flames up to her. Jinx crouches to the girl's height.

Jinx: Hi.
